Put a quote in a HTML attribute

example,

<span class="hotspot" 
    onmouseover="tooltip.show('<table id=\"test\"><tr><th>123</th></tr><tr><th>123</th></tr></table>');" 
    onmouseout="tooltip.hide();">porttitor orci</span>

in here, i'm trying to add id attribute in table tag, but i already used "" and '', so something is messed up and not working.

Any good solution?

In an attribute value that is delimited by Ascii quotation marks ("), you can present the Ascii quotation mark itself using the reference &quot;.

However, there is usually a better way. In the given case, you can simply omit the quotation marks, since id=test works just fine (unless you are using XHTML served with an XML content type, and most probably you aren’t).
